How to store Brown Sugar

Today's Assignment

Learn how to keep brown sugar from hardening after the bag or box is opened

To avoid dried-out and hardened brown sugar, store it in a cool area in a covered and airtight container once the box or bag has been opened.
One way to soften hard sugar is to place a fresh apple slice, the peel of half a lemon, or a slice of bread in the sugar overnight. The sugar will absorb the moisture from the apple, lemon, or bread and rehydrate, making it soft again.

Will oxygen absorbers help with long term brown sugar or white sugar storage?
